Darwell Stone seeks to provide a clear, accurate account of Christian beliefs, the attributes of the faith, and the composition of the church. From the get-go, the author is clear about his task: to provide both ordinary believers and students of theology with a transparent, easily comprehended account of the Christian religion. Chapters are devoted to the qualities of the Lord, the Holy Trinity, and the Creation story of Genesis. A series of chapters are devoted to Jesus Christ; his birth as the son of God, the life he led, his execution at the hands of the Romans, and finally his resurrection and the manifestation of the Holy Ghost. Later in the book, attention is turned to the church. A history of the organized church from the time of the Apostles is recounted, with the teachings of St. Paul taken as the first precepts upon which Christians founded their churches. The notion of apostolicity - that the church has a goals to accomplish received from heaven - is also elaborated upon. The author worked as Principal of Dorchester Missionary College in the late 19th century, educating and tutoring many students and those who aspired to travel far and wide to spread the word of God.

Excerpt from Outlines of Christian Dogma Thanks are due to the Rev. C. 0. Becker, of the Church of St. Barnabas, Pimlico, who has added to the many services of a long friendship that he has read the greater part of this book before it was in print. The responsibility for it belongs to the author alone, but he owes very much to the valuable suggestions which Mr. Becker has made.
